Re: Monitoring DB size

Slightly different approach than you might expect. For larger DBs you'd likely want to exclude base and instead use pg_database_size() in addition.

postgres(2454884) =# create temp table xx(dir text, sz bigint);          
CREATE TABLE
Time: 2.587 ms
postgres(2454884) =# copy xx(sz, dir) from program 'du -s *';                          
COPY 21
Time: 3.793 ms
postgres(2454884) =# select * from xx;                          
        dir          |  sz    
----------------------+-------
base                 | 26280
global               |   568
pg_commit_ts         |    12
pg_dynshmem          |     4
pg_logical           |    16
pg_multixact         |    28
pg_notify            |     4
pg_replslot          |     4
pg_serial            |     4
pg_snapshots         |     4
pg_stat              |     4
pg_stat_tmp          |     4
pg_subtrans          |    12

pg_twophase          |     4

Hi everyone,

 

we currently capture the db size (pg_database_size) which gives the “Disk space used by the database with the specified name”. Is it possible to further split this data how much space is occupied by live tuples, dead tuples and free space?

 

We would like to have something like:

DB Size: 200 MB, live tuple 100MB, Dead Tuple: 20 MB, free space 80MB

 

Is this possible?

 

Best regards,

Manuel
